Summer Camp Musical
by rbc
Last year our summer camp musical was Into the Woods. Each summer we select a musical for the girls to produce, practice and perform at the end of the main sessions, and in 2008 it was this wonderful play by Stephen Sondheim. If you haven’t seen it, it’s a story that integrates aspect of Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and the Bean Stalk, and Rapunzel. With so many characters involved, it’s a great summer camp drama production because so many campers can have a part, even a singing part. Then the girls are also designing and making costumes, painting scenery, and pulling together all the details of the play. It’s always a treat to see the wide range of talents the Rockbrook campers can show off.
In the next few weeks we’ll be considering different plays for this summer’s camp sessions. If you have any suggestions, let us know in the comments.

My friends school did Aladdin, it was awesome!
you know, actually, maybe he make up the scrip idea from Jessica is better because it just occurred to me that a girl couldn’t play Mr. Warbucks- or wait, pick a pla y were it would make sense to have all the boy parts sitched to girls or parts were it would be ok to have a girl play a boy.
Aw i loved into the woods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It might be fun to let some of the older girls write a play. An easy way to get them thinking is to have them re-write common fairy tales, making the main characters girls, or have the “damsel in distress” role be rejected in favor of a strong female, much like Princess Fiona in Shrek, or Ella in Ella Enchanted. That way, the girls can own their production in a whole new way. Just a thought.
hi! the play was AWSOME!!! i reallly hope i can go back to camp this year….!
